    That stops it from making stuff up

    No it doesn’t. That’s simply not how LLMs work. They’re “making stuff up” 100% of the time. If the training data is good, the stuff they’re making up more or less matches the training data. If the training data isn’t good, they’ll make up stuff that sounds plausible.

      If you ask it for sources/links, it’ll search the web and get information from the pages these days instead of only using training data. That doesn’t work for everything of course. And the biggest risk is that all sites get polluted with slop so the sources become worthless over time.

        Sounds infallible, you should use it to submit cases to courts. I hear they love it when people cite things that AI tells them are factual cases.
